They are all around the country, so they’ll be calling into the offices to take your questions and answer them online.

As for medical updates, Nomar is heading to Vegas tomorrow to start his rehab assignment. Penny’s MRI showed no structural damage but did show some tendonitis, so we’ll have to see where we go from there. We should have a better prognosis tomorrow.

Let’s hope the day off in Cincinnati got the team back on track…

I agree Nelly. This team has alot of potential if they will go ahead and submit to the fact that this is for all intents and purposes a rebuilding/change of direction year. Get the kids in there and let them learn. We’re not going anywhere this year. Fire Ned. Get what you can for Lowe and hopefully Penny. Unload Phew at any cost.
That is great about your daughter. LOL. What a great song. Can’t go wrong with Zep and the classic rock from the mid 60’s thru late 70’s. Put on Zep 4 and you guys can rock.

LMAO!!! I try to like that stuff (hip hop), but I can’t stand it. It ‘s really not music at all. We play all those you mentioned all the time, plus we are big AC/DC fans along with the Eagles. Love STYX- have all their albums – same with Queen and Van Halen (old of course), and that is to name a few.
.
working on AC/DC song now – lol!!! My husband wanted me to try one, so we’ll see. Mariya won’t like it because Pierre’s in it of course – lol!!

YES was one of my first rock concerts, and they were fantastic. Since then, I have seen many, but that one is one of my favorites of all time. That’s the difference between that music and the music of today. The music of today is only a couple weeks old and it goes away. The classic rock music is still here, and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon.

I felt that Joe should have the 1st two months (Until June 1)to tinker with this team and figure out what he had. Since he was new to the organization, the trip to China and the moon, etc…
.
It is now June 16. I gave him an extra 2 weeks to figure it out. I’ve been a supportive of his the whole time, but now I feel he is proving me wrong. I’m all about patience, but we are falling back and don’t seem to be improving from the start of the season. As sort of stated in a movie, I’ve come to vent and chew bubblegum and I’m all out of bubblegum!
.
RISP continues to be an issue.
.
Heck forget it, as everything is an issue. The day we need Park to hold the fort… kaboom. When we need Saito to hold the fort…kaboom. When we need Brox to hold the fort, kaboom. When they hold the fort, the offense is non-existent.
.
It is up to Joe to get this team to perform and he hasn’t done it. I don’t want a mid-season change with Joe, but I’m dissapointed with his handling of the Pierre situation. And now the LaRoche situation.
.
Sit Pierre down and show him his numbers and tell him he is sitting. If we can get the numbers I’m sure they have the numbers! If Pierre is such a great guy, and team player, he can use the days off to lift a weight and practice some swinging off a T! If he is unhappy then bummer. If any of us don’t perform at work that is what is done with us. If my crew doesn’t perform at work, I move them out. Play D-Young for Pierre for a week and see how we do. Use Pierre for a late inning pinch runner in a close game.
.
Next DFA Sweeney and bring up John Lindsey for Pinch Hitting and DH.
.
Next, let LaRoche play second on the day games for Kent and fill in the other games for Dewitt.
.
If there are trades out there (As SELLERS only!!) then goodbye to Lowe, Penny, Kent, Pierre (Hopefully Sweeney is already DFA’d).
.
I’ve liked Lowe, Penny, and Kent. They have played well for this organization for the most part. But we aren’t looking like this is our year. The youth movement is here and let’s continue it by building up some of our farm. Unless as metioned by westernmost we keep Lowe because we can’t get what we could get through the draft.
.
There are other moves to make, but I don’t want my computer to freeze up after all my typing! Maybe #1 should actually be bye bye to Stan Conte. I wonder what he broke when he was a child? His parents must of had to leave him out of the houseware section in Macy’s.
.
Josh you mentioned that these posts were read by some from the upper management. Well are they just reading them? Or do they actually care. I can’t believe that some of these things are so obvious to the faithfull bloggers here and on a couple of other Dodger sites, but seem to be so lost to those who should be making decisions as part of their job to bring a World Championship to the great city of LA?!!! I mean seriously. How can that be??? How can Pierre play evvveerrry sinngglle daaaaay with the same results? Is Frank serious that he wants to win? Or is that just lip service? It seems to be the latter. I know he’s spent money and continue to spends money, but some moves have to be made. This is a crucial time for this organization. The decisions made now can have a huge impact now and for years to come in a positive way if they are made correctly. If they aren’t well I guess in 20 more years we’ll be like how the Giants are now. Losers with a nice ballpark.

jhall, Mariya comes in with two of my cds and asks “Ronnie says I have to listen to these” She shows me “Who’s Last”, Rush’s “Presto”, REM “Out of Time” and Van Halen – how funny!!
.
gnats just went ahead 6-4 with homerun in the bottom of the 8th.

It is now 6-4 Giants over Detroit. Hard to believe that the Giants have a better offense than do the Boys in Blue.
.
As others have said, it’s to bad that we couldn’t have Scioscia as our Manager with Hersh as our Pitching Coach, Gibby as the Hitting Coach, and Terry Collins (No relation to me). as the Bench Coach. I think the bridges have been burned in every one of those aspects.
.
I also like the idea of Steve Yeager in the future.

dcollins – The gnats vets are better than our vets. They have Aaron Rowand, we have Andruw Jones, They have Omar Viscal, we have Jeff Kent, They have Benji Molina, we have Juan Pierre. Which vet would you rather have? Not that I would ever give up Russell Martin; I was just matching up vet to vet – lol!!

dodgereric – one of my son’s favorite songs is “Hotel California” They listened to it on the way to a football game, and he’s been hooked on it ever since. I think they tend to listen to the hip hop more because it’s what their friends listen to, but they are starting to appreciate our music a little more and understanding that it’s real music – lol!!

Thanks jhall and dnel. I’m fuming as I type this and listening to the Giants game on the radio.
.
There just isn’t much of anything to get excited about when watching the Dodgers play. They should be exciting to watch as they have so much potential, but they are so flat everywhere. I know they want to win. Anyone who competes at that level must whant to. I wish they had a true veteren leader. But they don’t.
.
I really think that they are trying to hard as often happens when someone is new. On my softball team we have this young new guy. He tries to hit homeruns with every swing and throw every one out. Last week I overheard him saying to his friend (Who has been on the team and brought him to us), “I just want to hit and prove myself to these guys.”. Then later in the game we are up 15-5 in the last inning. Runner on first and 1 out. There is a base hit to him in right center and the runner from first advances to 3rd. He tries to throw him out. There was no way he could physically make that play and yet he tries. This allows the batter to advance to second taking away the double play. Now with a huge lead late it may seem safe, but not in this league. It is slowpitch softball and large innings are not out of the norm.
.
My point to this is I see it with the Dodgers. They are all pressing which you can’t do in Baseball. You have to play within yourself and rely on your teamates.
.
By the way the next batter singled in 2 and then we had a double play grounder to short.
.
And yes jhall I’m agreeing with you regarding Ned. Unless he makes the changes in the next couple of weeks that most of us have described all year long.
.
We’re doing this for free because we love this team and love the game. Ned is getting paid and doesn’t seem to be able to make sound decisions.
.
That being said, I liked the Kuroda and Jones moves (I actually wanted Hunter first but we didn’t get him). I didn’t think Jones would be so overweight. That was really dissapointing to see. I figured he was a good stop gap for 2 years until The Bison could take over. I aslo figured he would come in shape wanting to prove himself, with only a 2 year contract and having a poor season last year. I was even fine with a 2.30-2.50 average as long as he had 30 or so pops from him. But that isn’t what were getting at all. Also I wanted that move to be made with a follow up move that wasn’t made…Pierre traded. I still think Pierre there is a trade market for Pierre. Maybe they are pumping him up from the beat writers & others to add to his trade value.
And that is why they need to start playing Young at leadoff & in LF. To see what they have in him.

Isn’t this “song-writing” (and I use the term EXTREMELY LOOSELY) interesting? If you would have told me a few months ago that I would be doing this, I’d have told you to check yourself in to a serious shrink. I spent most of the weekend re-doing my front yard landscaping and was listening to a radio. I caught myself laughing several times at lyrics jumping into (and out of) my head.

Another week of Joe and the vet’s futility and we’ll be in 4th place. I won’t mind finishing in 4th if we are getting the kids valuable experience and playing time. However, circling the drain with the PVL’s is UNACCEPTABLE!!™

dcollins, there’s not a lot of ‘give up’ in me, but I’ve given up on the idea that we’re playing Pierre so much to increase his trade value.

nellie, The Eagles have also been one of my favorites. I saw them at Anaheim Stadium with Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne and Toots and the Maytals. I thought the grandstands were going to fall down from all the rockin’! You could see them swaying back and forth. The scoreboard was pleading for everyone to stop it. As jhall said, don’t stop exposing your kids to this music. My son loves music from my era and his. That’s M-U-S-I-C. With notes and melodies. I’m also into country/western. We’ve made it traditional to listen to Garth Brooks and Trace Atkins and Toby Keith on the way to his hockey games. He tells me about girls who like it, too.

dcollins – I am hoping for the same thing with Pierre – a showcasing attempt. They can’t possibly think he is better than Andre or Delwyn in left, and as for lead off, try anybody at this point. For the game Saturday, they tried socks up, changed Ethier’s spot and Dewitt’s spots in the lineup so why not try somebody else in the lead off spot. You went to all that trouble to try and change some things, when all the fans really wanted was a change in the lead off position. It goes back to the same question over and over again. Are they really that stupid? or do they think we are stupid enough to fall for this stuff?

I think I’ve also given up on Torre ever willingly taking Pierre out of the #1 slot. I think he had blinders surgically implanted in his head. Of course, something had to go to make room for the supports for the blinders, so they took out his common sense. He wasn’t using it anyway.

I have seen many country acts when I lived back in Tennessee – Garth Brooks, George Strait, Alabama, Diamond Rio, Mark Chestnutt, Tracy Lawerence, Reba, Alan Jackson and Brooks and Dunn. I also got to see Elton John and Billy Joel perform together when I lived there – awesome. I haven’t listened to as much country since moving back to California – I tend to stick to the classic channels for the 50’s thru 70’s and early 80’s.
.
We do listen to a great deal of contemporary christian rock music too – Third Day, Hawk Nelson, Newsboys, Kutless to name a few.

I agree Eric with regards to Pierre. That is just the last glimmer of hope and optimism that is remaining in me. He actually has done better this year in left than last year in center. But don’t get me wrong. I don’t want him in the Dodger Blue. Don’t the Cubs need an outfielder and want him back???;) Pleaaaase??!!!
.
Also with Pierre working so hard why doesn’t he once in awhile try doing the square to bunt and pull the bat back and swing. That was done more in the old days and he does have that type of game. It would put a little something in the back of the minds of 1st & 3d basemen. He should work at that.

I will say this much. After the pathetic series in Detroit, I’ve piled on the last shovel of dirt on this team. They are dead when it comes to competing for anything. So what baffles me is the way the team is being run. The only deals Neddie should make are the removal of vets (Kent, Nomar, Lowe, maybe Penny, JP) and give guys a chance to develop.
By the way, Hu was riding the bench tonight in SLC…that guy needs as much time as he can get in the minors. I wonder if Joe made that call?

LOL!! dodgereric – blinders are definitely what he is wearing. Maybe Pierre’s mom put them there. Andre and Delwyn’s mom need to go and put the stat sheet right in front of his face. One mom can hold his head and the other mom can hold the stat sheet. LOL!!!

Allright dnel–I love 3rd Day, Newsboys, Toby Mac. Ever heard of the 77’s? They are from Sactown. I used to go there in the 80’s, when I was in highschool to see them in concert. They were great. I also love U2.

We (myself included) too often forget to bit*h about one of the major villians of this organization, who came with Ned from the Gnats. So, now we have a song about him.
.
Maxwell’s Silver Hammer
.
Conte’s Crappy Workouts
.
.
Jones available
Passed Stan Conte’s physical
Ned didn’t care.
Wanted another centerfielder,
Why, with Kemp here.
Gnats’ Stanley Conte,
Really is an oddity,
Calls him on the phone.
Can I talk you into some doughnuts,
Droo-oo-oo-uw?
But, as he’s getting ready to go,
A knock comes on the door.
.
Bang! Bang!
Conte’s crappy workouts came down upon his knee.
Clang! Clang!
Conte’s crappy workouts made sure he goes DL
.
Back in show again,
Conte plays the fool again
Jason gets annoyed.
Wishing for lots of
Millions from Ned-ed-ed-ed.
He tells Stan to stay
So, he waits behind.
Working fifteen years
With the Gnats now he comes down here.
But, when Schit turns his back on the man,
He’s a creeper all the time.
.
Bang! Bang!
Conte’s crappy workout came down upon his arm.
Clang! Clang!
Conte’s crappy workout made sure it was lukewarm.
.
Penny Thirty-One
Said, “We’ve caught a dirty one.”
Conte stands alone.
Designing poor regimens for him,
Crap, crap, crap, crap.
Abreu, Nomore, Furcal
Screaming from middle infield,
Say he must go home
Bennett does not agree
And he tells them so-o-o-o.
But, as the ball is leaving his hand,
A noise comes from behind.
.
Bang! Bang!
Conte’s crappy workouts came down upon their heads.
Clang! Clang!
Conte’s crappy workouts made sure that they were dead.

Also, Triple-A infielder Chin-lung Hu received a clean bill of health after an eye exam. He was placed on the disabled list over the weekend complaining of blurred vision.
.
That was on the report of Penny’s MRI.

Well, is anybody keeping track of how many different topics we are discussing at the same time – music, song writing, pierre, conte, ned, management, vets, young players, giants, tigers – oh my! – lol!!! multi- tasking at it’s best – lol!!! 🙂

good night jhall and eric and whoever else is still up reading this blog. Thanks for the laughs in between all the serious talk. I am going to finish my song and then try to get some sleep since there is no game so there won’t be much reading tonight and no stats to check. jhall needs to go to bed – it’s almost 1:30 in the morning where he is (right?). Those of us on the west coast still have a few hours until it’s considered too late. Blog you all in the morning with a song. Sleep tight!!! 🙂

I was actually working on my fantasy NASCAR league. I’m The Commish™! The Spider-Man song came to me in the middle of my ranting in my newsletter for some reason. I am a Renaissance Man, you know. Baseball, comics, hot rods, rock music – hmmmm, do you think I stopped growing in 1973?

LOL!! I am up finishing my song done to AC/DC and watching some show my daughter is watching. I am starting to watch more and more NASCAR now a days. My dream when I was a little kids was to go to the Indianapolis 500 – loved the drivers back then – AJ foyt and the Andretti family of course.

Yes, it’s a very big deal up here. I know a lot of people that go. We used to bowl with some friends who were avid racing fans and went every year, along with other races. They had actually gone to Daytona a few times, and last year they went to Vegas (and no, we don’t bowl anymore – too many kid things during the week and on weekends).

We have a big Rod Run down here in Temecula in the spring, and a somewhat scaled-down one in the fall. I’ve been to a few and usually get a stiff neck from all the craning – “look at that one, no, that one…….”

Regarding Chin-Lung Hu and playing in Vegas [discussed above] Diamond Leung sheds light on his blog. Hu is on the minor league DL:
.
“Shortstop Chin-lung Hu (eye) has also been cleared to play for Las Vegas once he is activated from the seven-day disabled list.”
.
He is also reporting Penny to the DL and Stults up to start as more or less definite:
.
“Dodgers pitcher Brad Penny is expected to be placed on the disabled list after an MRI exam conducted on his right shoulder Monday revealed inflammation in the bursa and mild tendinitis.
.
“The Dodgers plan to recall Eric Stults from Class AAA Las Vegas to replace Penny in the rotation and start Friday’s game, as the left-hander will join the team in Cincinnati today.”
.
The only argument for 28-year old Stults (18 career MLB appearances) over Kuo (60 games) is that Stults has been starting in AAA and is already stretched out and ready to throw a starter’s load of pitches; Kuo would probably be limited to something like 75. Time to get Kuo stretched out if Penny is out longer; he is more talented.
.
Kuo 2008: 40 1/3 IP, 1.017 WHIP, 2.01 ERA, 47 K, 10 BB.

There are a lot of drivers that I admire. Most of them seem to be very nice people and not very jaded as a lot of people are in sports. I was drawn to Jimmie Johnson pretty quickly. He’s from down here, but that’s not really it. I can’t really put my finger on it. I could list several reasons, but honestly they would apply to a lot of the drivers. I have a ridiculous amount of his gear. Two jackets, 3 hats, stickers on my truck, a license plate frame, glasses, coffee mugs. Most of them are gifts, but I love it.

The Rod Run is a weekend thing. There’s classic cars all over town the whole time. They meet on Saturday morning and park in the ‘historic’ Old Town area, which is sealed off from driving any ordinary vehicles. Everyone walks around checking out the cars. They used to run the cars uncorked down Front St in an old fashioned cruise. They’ve incorporated the Pechanga casino in the whole thing now, too. At least I think that’s how it still is. I haven’t taken one in for that past few years, but now that I bought that ’72 Chevelle, I might be honor-bound to start going again.

Wow!! My mom likes Jimmy. I remember you and another blogger talking about a few drivers and there personalities. Race car drivers remind me alot of country music singers – they seem really down to earth. I only know them from interviews, but they seem genuine even then.

Yeah, I think it was scott, but I’m not sure. I got to meet Johnson once, and by wearing a Lowes jacket around town I bump into relatives and friends of his a lot. It’s a kick wearing it into Home Depot! I’ve taken it so far as to donate money to his Jimmie Johnson Foundation. They do a lot of stuff for kids, so it goes to a great cause.

Greetings from Laconia, NH.
.
I was very busy here yesterday so I have not been around. We had a big turnout in Pasadena for the blood drive. That location we had more Dodger fans than Angel fans donating. The Scully Wooden event was awesome! Wish we could have called them back for more like is done in concerts. It was very emotional having to listen to both of them in person. I got to talked to Sweet Lou Johnson and Josh after the event.
.
the first thing I heard this morning here in NH when the radio woke me up was that Lamar was out partying late Sunday night. Looking forward to watching the Lakers tonight.
,
Hope Billz can stir us in the right direction tonight.!
.
Everyone have a great day!
.
Hey, I noticed I dropped to second place in the Inside Dodger league. Scott is in first place with Roncey right in our heels.

crzblue/emma – that is great that the blood drive was so successful. I could imagine how wonderful the scully wooden concert was – sounds great!
.
I, too, hope Billz can turn this Dodger team around. Boy! they sure do need a positive outcome in a game. The games on Saturday and Sunday were just very unfortunate – Penny pitching hurt for Saturday’s game and then the rain delay really being a factor in Sunday’s game (Kershaw was pitching so well, I think the outcome would have been different if it hadn’t rained).
.
I will have to get involved in the Inside Dodgers fantasy league next year. I remember it being mentioned during spring training, but I was a new blogger back then – it really seems like a long time since then – wow! We definitely had a different mind set about the Dodgers back then – didn’t we? Well, with the right moves, there is still time to turn this team around, even if it means a fabulous 2009 team, like many of the bloggers on here believe.
.
Have a great day emma 🙂

Good Morning Dodger Blue Fans,
It’s morning music time! Pierre continues to be the focus of my songs – it just happens, I guess. However, I did manage to get Andruw into the mix as well. I was in a hard rock mood last night so I chose AC/DC. It was a request by my husband. Even though he is a gnat fan, he does share my pain (mostly by laughing) in our ventures with JP.
.
Done to the song by AC/DC
“For Those About to Rock, We Salute You”

Six a.m. he goes downtown
Just because he wants Joe to believe
He is a player
And gives them everything they need
Bye Bye to the good times
Cause Juan has got the right of way
He ain’t no legend, ain’t no cause
He’s just livin for today
.
To the vets who really suck, we don’t need you
To the vets who really suck, we don’t need you

He stops at dawn at the food court
Like a bolt right out of the blue
Andruw’s taking another bite
He will keep the bulge tonight

Is Biker week here in this part of NH. When I question why bikers don’t wear helmets, someone said “well, you know how our state motto is “Live free or die”. i am so used to seeing bikers with their helmets on back in California. I wish it was a law in every state. It has been raining here off and on so some roads are slippery. they say there will be more bikers by Friday but we are staying in Boston thursday night as our flight leaves Friday morning at 6:30 so I’ll be at the game Friday night.
.
A couple from Ohio is driving to LA for the Cleveland/Dodger series. I met them at Vero Beach. She used to be a school teacher. As a matter of fact she used to teach in the same school that Chad attended. Hopefully she gets to talk to Chad. I believe she will make it in time so see the Dodgers getting a star in the Hollywood Walk of fame. I don’t think I can make it for that but I’ll see them at the game.

crzblue,
I like watching Mike and Mike in the morning on ESPN, and in order to watch it here on the west coast, you need to watch at 3 am, so I try to get up by 6 so I can watch the last hour. That’s when I heard about Randolph – everyone calling to Mike and Mike are really upset with how the front office handled his firing – 3 am, after a win, after a press conference, and also after being home over the weekend. On top of that, the GM was no where to be found for comment. They are calling what the front office did as being one of the most disgraceful ways of firing a manager probably in recent history. I would have to agree. As much as we want our GM fired, I would hope the Dodger organization shows some class when doing it.

crzblue – We were trying to get tickets to at least one Cleveland/Dodger game, but we decided to go to the entire Braves/Dodgers series instead. My friend (who’s a Braves fan) wanted to see Tom Glavine pitch so we bought tickets to the entire series. However, Glavine is hurt now and is on DL until all-star break, and now, we wish we would have gotten some tickets for the cleveland series. We really wanted to see Grady Sizemore play in person again. Even though I would have cheered on my Dodgers, I do like watching Grady Sizemore play. What a fantastic center fielder he is. I also have jhonny peralta on my fantasy team.

Years ago the Dodgers used to have a little golf cart that they used to ferry the pitchers from their bullpen to the mound. I think it had a Dodger cap on it, but I could be wrong. How about we give ol’ Ned a ride out to the Stadium gate in it?

When we need a sluggin’ left field man
Who can hit it on the screws
Some power numbers are what we wanna see
And its givin’ us the blues
Pick up the phone
He’s always home
Just call NedCo
ring ring

He’ll get us someone who’ll blow

You got your problems out in center field
Just ain’t knockin’ in the runs
You need a hitter who can cover ground too
To replace ‘ol speedy buns
Pick up the phone
He’s there alone
Or make a social call
Come right in
Forget about him
He’ll get us tubby and take a $30 million fall

When we need a pitcher showin’ us the way
But we ain’t got the stuff
Want a stopper that’ll win every fifth day
Not just another cream puff
Pick up the phone
And leave Ned alone
He’ll get the very best man
For a fee
We’ll be happy you’ll see
But he got us Schidt can

WOW!!! two AC/DC this early in the morning – get ready for a classic rock and roll day. One of the many topics last night was about different rock and roll singers/groups.
Enchanted – you continue to impress!!!!! and inspire🙂

Not to change the subject, but I am watching the bizarre food guy on the travel channel and he is at a place where he is eating gourmet foods made with bugs. He is eating banana canapes covered in maggots and teriyaki cockroaches – yuck!! I wonder if Andre would try a place like that – lol!!
.
rudolph for torre – not a bad idea eric 🙂
.
scott – I’m thinking about STYX. I did Renegade earlier in my song writing ventures, so that group is always one I consider.

How appropriate – emails I receive from dodgers.com get filtered into the junk folder.

Good one nells!! Go for it scott – its got great potential!

How many want to bet that Penny’s injury goes from maybe he’ll miss a start, to he’s on the DL, to he’s had a setback, to he’s out for the season? Seems to be the Stan Conte/management blowing smoke up our nether regions way.

When’s Frank going to wake-up and smell the morning air and finally realize that those aren’t roses he smelling?

good morning enchanted🙂
.
I am still laughing over the whole rudolph/randolph thing – LMAO!!
.
Like any of our players other than Pierre being lead off, most everybody on the board can be an advisor ( we know who the exceptions are)

jhall, we would definitely be the most creative group they would have in the Dodger Organization, but you would have be part of the advisory team.🙂
.
enchanted – you must be a marked man, my dodger e-mails are coming through just fine – lol!! just got two

Eric – great article – a little scary too. I am sure every player has one of those images, and if you think about it, most players do look away from the ball when it goes foul. I will pay more attention to that now.

I remember being at a game, (it might even have been an Opening Day) sitting in the Loge deck, wrapped around the left field foul pole. Steve Garvey was way early on one and crushed a line drive into the Field Boxes. I can still see this guy stand up, face the ball, and cup both hands right in front of his face, thinking he was going to catch it. That ball was screaming. It tore through his hands, bounced off his head and landed in the second deck. He was carried out by four people. I always wondered what happened to him. According to that article, he didn’t die. But I’ll bet he still has “Spalding” imprinted backwards on his head.
